IMPROVEMENT IN PAPER DISHES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 196,880, dated November 6, 1877; application filed August 2, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM E. CRUME and PETER M. AULABAUGH, of Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper Dishes; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

The object of this invention is to produce a paper or straw-board dish for grocers use in retailing butter, lard, and the like, made of a single piece or blank so cut and folded as to have rounded unbroken edges, whereby great strength and durability are obtained.

Figure 1 represents a plan View of the blank I from which we form our plate. Fig. 2 is a plan View of the dish ready for use. Fig. 3 shows, in section, a portion of the end of the dish. Fig. 4 represents a desirable fastening device.

With a properlyconstructed die we cut a blank of the shape shown in Fig. 1. The same operation which cuts the blank takes out the triangular portion a on each side, cuts the slits I), and makes the perforations c.

This leaves four flaps, d, at the corners, and to complete the dish it is only necessary to bring up these flaps and lap them upon the sides, as in Figs. 2 and 3. Rightangular pieces of tin, c, are then passed through the perforations 0 of the overlapping portions,

dish from paper with cut and overlapped corners.

What we. claim is- A paper or straw-board dish made'froin a blank, A, with cut-out side portionsg and slits b, turned up and united, substantially as shown and described, so that there are no broken or scored bottom edges, as and for the purpose specified.

Witness our hands this 18th day of July, A. D. 1877.
